Nikon D40 body from fotoconnection.com?

Question

Price listed $335. I'm plannnig to just buy the body and get a nikkor 18-200mm VR lens. Has anyone bought the nikon d40 body from this site? Is this site legit?

Answer 1

NO!!

Fotoconnection is a scam. Read the horror stories here if you want - over 500 of them: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Fot...

Here are my favorite stores for camera gear:

http://www.adorama.com

http://www.amazon.com

http://www.beachcamera.com

http://www.bhphotovideo.com

http://www.ritzcamera.com

And needless to say, the D40 and the 18-200 make a very nice combo.

Answer 2

Be careful with any camera you buy from an obscure website.  They're probably legit, but you could very well be getting a grey market camera, which isn't recognized by Nikon USA.  It'll probably work but you're taking a chance.  I have bought Nikon USA camera bodies from two different ebay stores and got great products and great service.  One of them is Cameta Cameras, and the other is called getitdigital.  Both have good prices and are very reliable.

Answer 3

Avoid fotoconnection at all costs.  I prefer adorama and ritz
